Bad Diet
Cellulite may be caused by a bad diet characterized by high caloric content, excessive fats, and the absence of fruits and vegetables. Consuming too many calories that are not used throughout the day inevitably results in fat formation and accumulation. In addition, unused calories are converted by the body into fats, thereby adding more cellulite material to the body.
Some studies claim that weight loss has no impact or does little to affect the elimination of cellulites. However, no large-scale study has debunked the idea that the food a person consumes contributes to cellulite formation. So again, having excessive calories in the body results in fat formation and accumulation.
It is important to have a balanced diet consisting of the right amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamin and mineral sources, particularly fruits and vegetables, to avoid aggravating cellulite formation risk factors, i. Dr. David McDaniel, Director of the Institute for Anti-Aging and Assistant Professor of Clinical Dermatology at Eastern Virginia Medical School, says that a plant-heavy diet can help arrest cellulite development and reduce inflammation in the body.
